Communication parameters (Windows)
 
Parameter
Description
CommunicationMethodDSS
Low-level communication method between DS-Client and DS-System.
2 = Network packets are encrypted on top of existing data encryption. This is slowest. (Default)
1 = Same as method 0 with a different implementation for trouble-shooting purposes only.
0 = Network packets are not encrypted. This is fastest.
CommunicationMethodMLR
Low-level communication method between DS-Client and DS-MLR / DS-Recovery Tools.
2 = Network packets are encrypted on top of existing data encryption. This is slowest. (Default)
1 = Same as method 0 with a different implementation for trouble-shooting purposes only.
0 = Network packets are not encrypted. This is fastest.
DSSystemAlternatePort
Alternate port with which to connect to DS-System if DS-Client fails to connect to DS-System on the default port (4401).
Default: 0
Note: A value of 0 means there is no alternate port.
HessianAPIListenIP
IP address the DS-Client uses to listen for Hessian API connections.
Use 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
HessianAPIListenPort
Port on which DS-Client listens for Hessian API connections.
Default: 4411
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
HessianAPILogFile
File where the Hessian API server writes log messages and events.
You can use any valid file name.
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
HessianApiLogLevel
Level of logging to write to the Hessian API server log file.
warning (Default)
debug
info
error
fatal
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
HessianApiSSLFile
SSL certificate/key file to use for the Hessian API server. This should be in PEM format.
Default: C:\Program Files\CloudBackup\DS-Client\api.pem
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
HessianApiSSLPassword
Password for the SSL certificate/key file.
Enter a valid password for the SSL certificate/key file specified in the HessianApiSSLFile parameter.
Note: This parameter requires the DS-Client to restart before taking effect.
LaptopCheckInterval
Interval at which DS-Client checks the network connection for schedules configured with the DS-Client on portable computer (verify network connection) option.
MaxQueuedMessages
Maximum number of queued messages during communication with DS-System.
Default: 128
Range: 1-2048
MinApiMsgTimeout
The minimum (in minutes) timeout period for API messages. Increase this parameter if you encounter a large amount of “Timeout on receive message” errors.
Default: 10
Range: 10-14400
RetryPrimary
How often (in hours) to retry the primary DS-System connection after switching to a secondary connection. A value of -1 means “never retry”, and a value of 0 means “retry immediately”.
Default: 24
Range: -1 to 240
TcpSocketBuffer
Internal socket buffer size (in Bytes). This value is used if it is bigger than the default.
Default: 34752
Note: For Grid DS-Clients, this parameter can be applied globally or to individual leaf nodes.
VSSKeepAliveTimeout
Timeout period (in seconds) for DS-Client to receive a response for a VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) operation. The VSS operation fails after the timeout period.
Default: 300
Range: 60 to 3600
